Now we have a crack in the sky. I theorized this was Acnologia and while Wendy and the others began to panic as the crack increased, I knew my suspicions were probably right. Then of course, Acnologia’s arm comes crashing out of the crack. Seeing the blue pegasus guild deal with this horror while still morning over Ichiya definitely pulled at the heart strings. I really love Mashima’s story telling. He knows how to suck you in and love all the characters he created, no matter how annoying that had been.

Acnologia is absolutely terrifying. To think that failed to even wipe out his existence. It makes me wonder what’s happened to Ichiya and Anna. Did they really die? Acnologia survived but he does eat magic, so that might have something to do with it. That Eternal Flare attack made his destruction of Tenrou Island look tiny in comparison. Mashima did well to draw out just how large and terrifying this dragon and his magic is. I honestly can’t tell what town he’s destroying though. Is that Magnolia? Since Erza’s mother’s spell broke, I don’t know where anyone is anyone more at this point. lol Except for Lucy and them. I know where they are. LOL

After his massive attack, he makes Wendy vanish. This is curious and I’m glad this is quickly answered with in the next pages. All the dragon slayers start to disappear. This of course makes me think, what’s happened to Natsu? The image of Lucy sobbing his name ripped my heart out. In her perspective, he’s vanished from existence. The amount of trauma that she must be feeling had to be overwhelming. She has lost so many people close to her. Her parents, Aquarius, watching herself die, and then when Natsu disappeared for a year. Now she thinks he’s dead.

And then the next page….NATSU’S ALIVE! You have no idea how much his disappearance was giving me damn anxiety all week! I was so afraid Lucy was going to have to do something special to bring him back. Really was hoping for something different. Well, Mashima definitely delivered on that! So, Natsu is fine. He was just transported with the other dragon slayers to face Acnologia. This is going to be awesome. I can not WAIT for this fight!

With Lucy sobbing over Natsu’s “death”, I keep thinking what an intense reunion this could end up being when she see’s Natsu is alive. We did get a kiss between Haru and Ellie in Rave Master so whose to say we wont get one in Fairy Tail? And unlike Rave Master, Fairy Tail is an ecchi. *snicker* Well, anyway, I’m hoping this will lead to an eventual awesome Nalu moment. I’m biased in that regard I know. I enjoy the story of Fairy Tail itself too though and I love the fight scenes.

There’s a lot to say about these two chapters because there was SO much emotion that I’m still reeling from what I read. Sorry it’s taken me a bit to get this posted but better later than never!

In 537, seeing the moment between Mavis and Zeref was powerful. We waited so long for this, for the two of them to actually talk and for him to actually listen. Granted it took him until he was beaten down by his little brother to finally get a clue, better late than never I guess. Mavis’ words to him was really intense. She hated him but loved him at the same time. She hated him for what he did to her and her friends, but she loved him because she knows why he did it. She knows he’s been suffering for centuries. It was admirable and beautiful. I adore Mavis. Her kindness, understanding, and forgiving nature is admirable. I loved how she said exactly as she felt, releasing her anger and frustration, while still expressing just how much she loved him and what good things he DID do. God, Mashima really knows how to pull on the heartstrings. And I did not expect Markarov to come back!! I have mixed feelings on that at the moment but Mashima has yet to disappoint me so I’m going to hold off giving remarks on it until the manga is over. It was a great ending to Zeref and Mavis’ tragic story. Their love story was so incredibly tragic. It’s completely opposite to what Lucy and Natsu’s relationship is. That’s something I’m sure Mashima did on purpose. I’m hoping since Zeref and Mavis’ tragic love story ended in death, if that means Natsu and Lucy’s heart warming story will end in life.

Chapter 538 is one that is still haunting me. We see Lucy fixing Natsu’s book. She seems to know exactly what she’s doing. I paid attention to the details about her saying she had all the memories written of the Natsu they know. I didn’t expect Gray to be able to use his magic to remove what was plaguing Lucy but I’m glad he was able to. When the book started to disappear, I got emotional when Happy started to get emotional and Lucy grabbed him, holding him tight. They were so terrified of losing Natsu. God, so was I! Then that moment when Natsu appeared and Lucy’s face…gah! She’s in love with that guy, I don’t care what anyone says!

I was feeling relief when they were talking and bantering back and forth as they always use to. This was normal. This was typical Fairy Tail. Then, Lucy brings up to Happy about what he and Natsu wanted to do after the war. I find the look on Happy’s face curious when he asks Natsu if he wants to announce it. He’s got that mischievous look he gets when he teases Lucy that she likes him. Oh god…but when Natsu is no where to be found, my heart just dropped to pit of the earth. Then Lucy’s reaction had me crying of course. The devastation on her face and the way she screamed and sobbed for Natsu. All this sorrow, then we got to a scene of Wendy seeing a crack appear in the sky. I’m thinking that has something to do with Acnologia.

Back to Lucy and Natsu. It seems like there’s no possible way to bring Natsu back. Zeref is dead and the book disappeared. There’s no source. It makes it sound pretty depressing, doesn’t it? Well, being obsessed with Fairy Tail, I’ve reread and rewatched the manga and anime many times. Back when Lucy is being trained by Capricorn before the Grand Magic Games, she talks about primordial magic. She talks about how her mother told her it wasn’t something tangible, that it’s love. LOVE. Natsu and Lucy have an incredibly strong bond built with trust and facing danger together frequently. They’re the closest to each other than to anyone else. Lucy has already brought Natsu back to life on more than one occasion. There were times where he should have been dead but he heard Lucy’s voice, felt her magic and he came back. Her tears brought him back to life in the movie. Lucy is a very sociable, kind-hearted person. She’s known for her kindness and mercy towards those who have mistreated her. She’s made friends out of enemies. I theorize that Lucy possesses primordial magic and that will bring Natsu back. Don’t quote me on it but its what I’m theorizing. Primordial magic hasn’t been brought up much since the Tenrou arc though so I hope that doesn’t become a plot hole. >.<

Next Friday, I’ll be starting a mini series about the popular manga and anime, Fairy Tail. Each blog post will cover one particular character or lore regarding the Fairy Tail universe that Hiro Mashima created. All information will be based off of facts I’ve gathered from officially translated material. I will cover major characters as well as minor characters from other guilds like Pegasus, Sabortooth, and Mermaid Heel. I will even cover the dark guilds and their members. If you love Fairy Tail, be sure to watch for this series and tell your friends! I’m going to start from the very beginning which of course that means starting off with the founder of Fairy Tail, Mavis! I look forward to bringing you content and maybe even help you learn something new you didn’t know about the series!

Talking about Fairy Tail or anything having to do with Fairy Tail is probably the best thing in the universe to me. I’m obsessed, it’s my favorite anime and always will be.

It’s funny how I even discovered it. I’d seen it on Netflix. It was suggested for me because I had been watching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (another masterpiece I love), but I never tried it for the longest time. I just kept thinking, “Whats with the dude with pink hair? Looks dumb.” Eventually, I caved back in 2014 and decided, eh, what the hell. Eventually I was hooked and fell in love with Natsu. Haha.

It was later that year that I picked up the manga, reading the chapters as they were posted online. The story is just fantastic as well as the characters. The story starts out very simple. Boy meets girl, girl gets dream, blah blah. However, you quickly discover it’s far from typical and definitely far from simple. Hiro Mashima was fantastic at making his character’s different from your typical tropes. For example, Erza is beautiful and talented, but good god she’s incredibly awkward in normal social situations. It’s the funniest thing to see. At first you think Lucy is your typical air-headed blond but quickly find out she’s actually very intelligent and good at problem solving. Despite her sexiness though, she’s clumsy as hell. My man Natsu has a hot temper, something that’s popular for characters in animes and manga. However, despite his hot temper, he’s incredibly kind, not to mention forgiving. He gives off the impression he’s a bit slow, until you see him adapt his fighting style in mid battle depending on what opponents he’s facing. Even if he can’t come up with a strategy he already knows, he’ll make it up as he goes.

Lucy – “When did you learn how do to do that move?”

Natsu- “Just now.”

One of things that can make an anime lose its audience fairly quickly, is fillers. Oh god those fillers. Bleach and Naruto are prime examples of that. Bleach is probably the best. I lost interest in that anime two years ago, even though I did like it. The fillers didn’t make sense, they started right in the middle of canon story arcs, and I heard how the manga ended wasn’t loved by fans either. I didn’t like how the author pitted popular ships between characters against each other to create drama. I’m not a fan of that story telling technique. Tends to get on my nerves. However, this is not the case with the two Fairy Tail fillers. We won’t talk about filler episodes, since there weren’t too many of those. The Infinity Clock arc seamlessly intertwined with the canon story line. Mashima also created that arc, too and didn’t hesitate to give us some major Nalu moments. I loved how the lack of celestial wizards in existence connects Yukino and Lucy. Sure, they connect in the manga without that arc, but the infinity arc made the bond more believable and special. There was nothing confusing about the arc. It wasn’t too long and it fit right between two canon arcs, connecting the Tenrou Island and Magic Games arc. I heard some fans didn’t like it but I absolutely love it. Could care less what they think. LOL The second filler arc was the Celestial arc that occurs after the magic games. I’ll be honest, it’s not one of my favorite arcs but it wasn’t horrible either. We had Nalu moments within this arc also. I loved how protective Natsu was over Lucy. Since the magic games, Natsu’s protectiveness of her increased quite a bit. Seeing her future self die probably created a bit of trauma for him. The idea of losing her terrifies him. Oh, my hearts melting. Gah! I praise Mashima for his great use of his fillers. They were well done and seamless between canon arcs.

Lets talk about that fan service. Fairy Tail is an ecchi. The fan service is equal for both genders. Natsu and Lucy both tend to strut around half naked. However, the fan service is done in a way that isn’t vulgar. The way Mashima draws the women is natural and beautiful. There’s nothing vulgar about the revealing clothes he creates for his female characters. It’s done in a way that you know he’s appreciating feminine beauty. The fact that Lucy always seems to lose her clothes cracks me up. It’s a funny gag that never fails to make me giggle. There’s some naughty bits of course with Lucy accidently sitting on Natsu’s face or her boobs in his face. Some part of her body always seems to land in his face. I love the fact it never makes him blush. Boobs, crotch, nudity…none of it phases him. He never comes across as a pervert either except the one time he covered Lucy’s breasts for her. That’s the one time I’m fairly certain Natsu knew exactly what he was doing. I know he aint that dense when it comes to the opposite sex. Prime example of that is when he’s telling Elfman and Erza that Lucy’s taking a shower, then asks if they want him to check on her. Takes him a second to realize why Elfman was telling he can’t do that, but when it clicks, he acts like any other heterosexual male. Haha.

I know some people seem to get frustrated with how slow the “romance” is developing between Natsu and Lucy. Here’s the thing though. Just because they ain’t making out and there’s no confessions of undying love, doesn’t mean it’s not there. They’re best friends. They don’t have to show constant affection like that to express they care for another. They have a deep bond and trust that developed over years of fighting together. They love spending time with each other, usually no matter what it is, Natsu just always wants Lucy around. If you’ve seen this anime, then you remember how he pouted throughout the Sakura Festival because Lucy’s was sick at home and couldn’t be there. She was on his mind the entire time. He sent a damn tree down the river for her. You don’t do that for a regular best friend. If that’s not romantic, I don’t know what is. See, my husband and I have a similar relationship. We’re affectionate at home but in public we’re best friends hanging out. Once in a while we may share a kiss in public but it’s rare. We don’t find the need. Personally, I love how Mashima has developed the relationship between these two. He’s done it naturally and slowly over time, like how it would happen in reality. Natsu didn’t even start being clingy towards Lucy until over 50 episodes in.

All the ships are clearly defined in Fairy Tail and I love it that way. There’s so many canon ships, there’s a ship type for everyone! Of course, Nalu is the fan favorite. My husband actually likes Gajeel and Levy. I have a sister in law who likes the idea of Gray and Lucy, but she doesn’t mind Nalu either. She just likes Gray more. Gray’s okay. Lol I don’t want his character gone but I don’t leap for joy and get excited when I see him like I do with Natsu.

I can’t express how fantastic I think Fairy Tail is. I wish it was bigger in America but anime in general isn’t big in America. It’s bigger than it used to be and you can usually find comic shops with plenty of anime and manga merchandise in them, but I mostly see Naruto, One Piece, and Dragon Ball. I haven’t been able to do any manga or anime shopping recently at my favorite comic book shop so they may have more merchandise now. Last time I went (a year ago), they were starting to get more merchandise which was nice to see. They also finally had more manga volumes. For a while I could only find the volumes at Barnes and Noble. Thankfully they were the same price but I prefer to support the local business owner of my comic shop than a big franchise store. Fairy Tail is big in Japan, I do hear that a lot. The movie that just came out was selling out the special addition programs and they’re incredibly hard to find they sell out so fast. I can’t wait to go to Japan and check out the Fairy Tail merch in Akihabara! I will be streaming that live when we finally get to do that!

Any of you watch Fairy Tail? What do you think of it? Do you have a favorite character or guild? Let me know! I love meeting other Fairy Tail fans and discussing it!

OMG. That chapter really set things up for nearing the end of the manga! So, looks like Lucy is connected to Natsu now. I was curious as to what was happening to her in the last chapter. So many mysteries still to be answered. Gray usually gets on my nerves but I’m glad he helped Lucy cool off. At first the panel looked like he was knocking her out. haha. I was gonna be like, “DAMN IT GRAY!”. It’s all good though. He cooled off. I’m cool with that….no pun intended. LOL

I find it interesting that she could feel Natsu’s flames. I wonder what could this mean for the two of them? Personally, I love the idea of them being connected like this. When it comes to bonds and trust, Lucy have it the deepest. The trust between them in beautiful since it developed over 60+ manga volumes. Their bond is just shining brightly through out this entire war and it’s been amazing to read and witness. Mashima’s art…GAH! I could go on forever how much I love his story telling and art style!

At this point it almost looks like the relationship between Natsu and Zeref is pretty doomed. Back when Zeref first appeared during the Tenrou Island arc, my heart broke for him seeing how emotional he got seeing his young brother alive and grown into a teenager. Well, it didn’t get emotional for me until after hearing about Zeref’s back story. Little did we know that at that time he had already started to fall to darkness. What happened between him and Mavis was tragic. We know Natsu empathizes with his brother whole heartily. He may be pissed off ready to destroy him right now, but I believe it’s because it’s getting to the point where Natsu sees his brother is completely lost with no way to be found. At least, that’s the impression I get now. It’s so fascinating how different they are even though they’re related.

I seriously can’t wait for this story arc to be animated!

It seems Jellal may or may not die from the looks of things. I’m not really attached to his character but I do love Erza and I’d to have to watch her lose someone else she cares about. Not sure I’m okay with that but honestly as long as Mashima gives me Nalu and a Nalu happy ending, I’ll be okay. Next chapter, we’ll find out if Acnologia will finally disappear and Jellal’s fate, not to mention Lucy’s. What’s going to happen when Lucy, Gray, and Happy go back to the guild to help Natsu? I have to wait a whole week! DAMN IT. lol

This chapter was put together extremely well. A lot happened in 20 pages and I felt like we evenly got to see the main current battles happening and whats going on. As usual, the art is beautiful and so well done. Once this manga ends, I can’t wait for what Mashima has for us next. Rumor has it he will be doing a next generation of Fairy Tail story, which I really hope will happen. The Fairy Tail universe is quite expansive and there’s so many characters that I have no objection to new adventures. I am enjoying Boruto so maybe we’ll get a Nashi manga?

Well, now it’s time to wait a week for the next chapter. I can’t wait to see what develops!
